Food rescue is an important part of our organization. The US wastes around 40% of its total food production throughout the food industry and consumption.

Milford Food Bank partners with other food banks and all parts of the food industry (grocery stores, big box stores, restaurants, bakeries, etc.) to rescue food that would otherwise be wasted. Excess, damaged, or short-dated food can be rescued and distributed to our partner organizations that serve individuals and families facing food insecurity in their communities.  

Food is donated to Milford Food Bank from all over the Midwest and the nation. We are so thankful for all the generous partners we have that are willing to work with us to provide food to the communities we are in like:
